| gforce16's Full Review: Apple iPod classic 4th Generation from HP (20 GB) ... |
I have had problems with the quality of construction of the iPods made by Hewlett Packard.
HP was given rights to make iPods because Apple could not keep up with the demand. I ordered a 20G iPod from Buy.com for a great price about a year ago. The earphone jack was defective. I found this out after taking it in to a local Apple retailer. They found the problem, but couldn't help me because my product was made by HP. I had to ship it back to Buy.com. For their part, Buy.com was great. They paid shipping and send me a new one.
However, I had a drive problem with the 2nd one. It made alarmingly loud "clonks" and wouldn't read. This was, of course, after I spent hours uploading all my CDs into the thing.
I know several people who have "real" Apple iPods and love them. Avoid HP.
